I once created, on a Unix box, a directory named 'http:' and inside it, a
file named www.datenrevision.de. This enabled me to open
'http://www.datenrevision.de' and read from it (since multiple
consecutive slashes are generally treated as one slash on Unix) -- a
little playful fun.
Would your proposal imply that I would not be able to open this file any
more without resorting to "tricks" such as sysopen or './http://blabla'?
Just wondering.
Cheers,
Philip
